You know how Herbert in the book is blonde, blue eyed and youthful but then in the movies hes got dark hair, dark eyes and ages however he is aging, I realized those traits were not lost, they were used for Meg

now that i’m pretty solidly more than halfway through the book i’ve started to think very seriously about what changes i’ll make when editing Lay Me Down and have come to the following two important conclusions:

agnes’s internalized homophobia neeeds to be worse

pallas should make WAY more pretentious literary references than they currently do

If this up coming patch is the final patch ever with zero returns and Larian considering it a closing of the curtain on Baldurs Gate. It better be ACTUALLY fucking awesome and the actual bugs better be fucking fixed.

my least favorite part of the creative process is when I have to take a hammer to the rough draft I'm very attached to in order to reshape it into a final work that's objectively much better. because in the middle of smashing it with a hammer it feels like I'm just making it all Worse, and knowing that's not true doesn't stop the feeling when it currently looks like.... this

Headcanon that Echani are not poisoned by chocolate as most canid species are, but instead are stimulated by it, with effects on their body being much like caffeine. Its mild toxicity results in upset stomachs if ingested in large quantities but induces interesting symptoms, so chocolate is a popular consumable in place of the galactic preference for Caf on Eshan. This results in rather humorous displays come the Festival of Love when the galaxy hands out sweets to their persons of affection, without knowing that to Echani, chocolate symbolizes wanting to make a deal...and bouts of hyperactivity.

“Other shortcomings [in communicating science] are evident in television science fiction programming. Star Trek, for example, despite its charm and strong international and interspecies perspective, often ignores the most elementary scientific facts. The idea that Mr. Spock could be a cross between a human being and a life-form independently evolved on the planet Vulcan is genetically far less probable than a successful cross of a man and an artichoke… There must be dozens of alien species on various Star Trek TV series and movies. Almost all we spend any time with are minor variants of humans. This is driven by economic necessity, costing only an actor and a latex mask, but it flies in the face of the stochastic nature of the evolutionary process. If there are aliens, almost all of them I think will look devastatingly less human than Klingons and Romulans.”

being told my explanations of series songs make sense means so much to me bc im really bad at managing information neatly it all ends up as just one big train of thought & not really organized so i worry it ends up not making sense or comes across as super disjointed

i actually just cannot use Certain Websites anymore (not that i ever did. but now it's not even an option) because of the thing my brain does where anything ai generated causes like. genuine discomfort and anxiety and repulsion. like an uncanny valley type of thing. and anyways the ai-generated(??) 'faq' or whatever that gets shown under tweets and shit nowadays makes me so viscerally uncomfortable. tumblr may be questionable but at least it's still accessible to me in this sense
